Projekt „Halt – Hart am Limit“ (Stop - Hard at the limit)
Every year, the TOOLS FOR LIFE Foundation recognizes people who are socially committed in their free time. In 2016, employees of ROTHENBERGER AG were invited for the third time to nominate their everyday hero - the HERO - in their personal or professional environment in order to say “Thank you!” for this work.
The “Halt - Hart am Limit” project run by the Center for Youth Counselling and Addiction Support in the Main-Taunus district was chosen for 2016. The project works in alcohol prevention and offers help to children and young people who are at risk of alcohol addiction. In February 2017, Dr. Sandra Rothenberger handed over a donation of 8,000 euros. The amount was also raised through the TOOLS FOR LIFE Foundation's Christmas fundraising campaign “Donations instead of gifts”.
